The Legends of Friendswood Golf Tournament began in 1990 when Mark Gill and Daren Taylor suggested a way for friends and relatives to gather for a day of fun.  As the tournament grew, it became profitable and the founders decided to contribute to the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in support of cancer research.  Over the years, interest continued to grow, more friends joined in the fun, and a committee was formed to help guide the charitable efforts of the tournament.  The Legends of Friendswood Golf Tournament became a nonprofit corporation and along with the continued support for cancer research, began contributing to The Friendswood Education Foundation.  In 2001 when dear friend and founding player, Mike Doiron, lost his battle with cancer, the committee renamed the tournament in his honor.  Contributions over the years have totaled more than $365,000 and each year brings new levels of support.  Many, many thanks to the volunteers, sponsors, players, and friends and family that come together to make each tournament a memorable and truly charitable event.

In loving memory of our friend...
